Memory Over-Provisioned
A container's memory request is reserved on its node and counts against schedulable capacity, so a request far above real use holds memory away from everything else.

Found, explained, handed over.
Findings with a dollar figure attached, idle, oversized, orphaned, unscheduled and undiscounted spend.
Detect
ZopNight checks this automatically across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with read-only access to the account.
Explain
Every finding says exactly what to change: Reduce the memory request on deployment. Where the saving can be proven it is priced; where it cannot, the finding says so.
Fix
The finding opens with the change already spelled out, so the fix is one ticket, not an investigation.
